.essere es @ses .19, 191.4. -sere1-NQ-.S-6tw T0 @ZZ whom it may concerni Be i known .that l, GEORGE H. PALLADL Citizen ef ai@ United states,greening at` Allertominthe county ofWayne aiidState of Iowa, haveinvented ;certainxnew and. useful Improvements in *Loading Illttachmentsto Binders; and vI/dodeclare the following to be a full, clear,andy:exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable 'others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make andfuse the same. i i i The4invention relates to 4an improvement in attachments to Vbinders andfthex object'fof the invention is to proyide a. .light',"i'neX pensiveand durable attachment to ythe binder which willlreceive theslieavesdelivered ove'rthe deck by the discharge larms anddepositthemlon a wagon or ether freceiving vehicle accompanying .thembinder andlocated Lon ythe deck yside ,thereof some distance :tromthefsafme,thearrangement effecting a .quickland direct `loading'of the sheaves. i

' llith the aboveobject in ,view the invention consistsV essentially inthe arrangement and constructionof parts hereinafter more particularlydescribed and laterpointed put inv the Iappended claims;l i

` Figurel represents a plan view of myattachinent as applied' .onaybinder, thewiew also showing a portion of-a' tractionengine and awagon. F ig. 2 representsgairear view of the attachment andthepbinderland a portion oit the accompanying wagon.` Fig. 3 represents.a detailwside vview, of apertionvof the binder'decki'iand theattachment withltlfle lingers in the normal or inactive position. t

Fig. e represents an enlarged detail perspective View of the `joint'formed between the forks and the fingers.

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate correspondingparts in each figure.

1 represents a binder of which 2 is the frame, 3 the bull wheel, t thedeck, 5 the binder attachment presenting the discharge arms 6, 7 thetongue and 8 the shield, all these parts being of ordinary construction'and as customarily found in machines of this class.

9 representsmy loading attachment which is connected to the binderframeon the deck side and is now described in detail.

10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 represent a series of similar slightly curvedparallel arms having their inner ends permanently secured by suitableyrivets or bolts 15 to the under side of the deckand.restingapproximately inidway'oftheir length on asupporting bar 16carriedby pair of `braces 17 and 18 eXtendmg outwardly vrfrom suitablevhangers or brackets 19 fastened to the binder frame.

The innerends of the arms( are slidably mounted'yon a channel ironbar`20 in turn carried by anangle iron'Ql, theangleironbemg'carried-by'A end posts @which are at presentpart oflthe' binderstructure.

It 'is here eXplained that in binders ythe decks are shiftable and forthis reasonxit is necessary toh'ave v'the arms slidably mounted onthebar 20 andthe barl'as thefarins yshift with the deck. The rear arm l0is bent. upwardly slightly rmore than the ,rest as it vforms a guide forthe heads of the sheaves passed l over the attachment.

df the shield 1.8,.thebody of the rod eXtendf ing outwardly overY thearms but parallel with the `same andbe'ing suspended by a 'tie rod-27Vconnected to thet binder attachment 5.

.The 4presser@ rod is .massed ,in .respect t0 arms such that the sheavespassed over the deck and discharged by the discharge arms'are forcedoutwardly over the arms being held on the arms in passage by thepressure rod. As each succeeding sheaf is passed over the deck it forcesan advancing sheaf over the fingers, which ingers assume, owing tothe'action of the springs, an upright position immediately after thesheaf is finally discharged.

In order to understand the advantage of the attachment it is explainedthat where it is used a wagon or other such vehicle 28 accompanies thebinder, the wagon being attached toV a draft beam 29 secured to the backend of a traction engine represented at 30, the traction engine beingutilized also to pull the binder. With this arrangement the sheaves aredeposited directly onto the Wagon which when fully loaded can be dumpedin any convenient way.

Although it forms no part of this invention l prefer that the wagon beunloaded, by dumping, that is by dropping the rear end and elevating theforward end. It is with a wagon of this kind that the advantage of thepivoted spring pressedngers is apparent. They allow the sheaves to bedelivered well onto the wagon but each time a sheaf is deposited on thewagon they spring up so that they are entirely clear of the Wagon side.Accordingly vthe lingers are always clear ofthe wagon when it is to bedumped and will in no way interfere with its operation. ,f

l do not wish to be restricted in any way to the'precise manner in whichthe arms are attached to the deck or to the manner in which they aresupported slidably on an under structure as various ways ofaccomplishing this could be readily suggested without the leastdeparting from the spirit of the invention. Neither dol wish to belimited to the precise form of spring joint shown between the fingersand the forks, as various other mechanical arrangements could be readilysuggested which would loperate to equal effect.

The principal feature of the invention resides not in the details of theconstruction butin the provision of an attachment which forms in.reality an extension of the deck whereby sheaves delivered from thedeck can be deposited on an accompanying vehicle located at somedistance from the deck.

What l claim as my invention is:

l. The combination with the deck of a binder, of a supplemental decksecured to and extending laterally from the aforesaid deck, and a fixedsupporting bar carried by the binder frame upon which the supplementaldeck rests slidably.

2. The combination with the deck of a binder, of a series of outstandingarms secured thereto and extending laterally therefrom, and a fixedhorizontally disposed supporting bar VVcarried by the binder frame uponwhich said arms rest in slidablek relation.

. 3. .The combination with the deck of a binder, of a supplemental decksecured to and extending laterally from the aforesaid deck, a fixedsupporting bar carried by the binder frame upon which said supplementaldeck rests slidably, and a pressure rod overlying the supplemental deckto retain the same in contact with the supporting bar when the machineis in operation.

let. rl`he combination with the deck of a binder and the shieldthereover, of a series of y outstanding arms extending laterally fromsaid deck and secured thereto at their inner ends, a series of uprightspring pressed fingers located at the outerends of the arms, a pressurerod overhanging the arms, and means carried by the binder frame uponwhich said arms rest in slidable relation.

5. The combination with thev deckof a binder, of an linner supplementaldeck section secured to and projecting laterally from the aforesaiddeck, an outer laterally swing` ing supplemental deck section hinged toand rising from the outer end of the inner section, spring meansnormally retaining the outer section in substantially upright position,and stop means carried by one of said sections to limit the outwardmovement of the outer laterally swinging section.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
